More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
Every man should keep a fair-sized cemetery in which to bury the faults of his friends.
Henry Ward Beecher
A reputation for good judgment, for fair dealing, for truth, and for rectitude, is itself a fortune.
Henry Ward Beecher
A Christianity which will not help those who are struggling from the bottom to the top of society, needs another Christ to die for it.
Henry Ward Beecher
Providence is but another name for natural law. Natural law itself would go out in a minute if it were not for the divine thought that is behind it.
Henry Ward Beecher
Flowers have an expression of countenance as much as men or animals. Some seem to smile some have a sad expression some are pensive and diffident others are plain, honest and upright, like the broad faced sunflower and the hollyhock.
Henry Ward Beecher
What the heart has once owned and had, it shall never lose.
Henry Ward Beecher

The diameter of each day is measured by the stretch of thought - not by the rising and setting of the sun.
Henry Ward Beecher
The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things.
Henry Ward Beecher
Some men are, in regard to ridicule, like tin-roofed buildings in regard to hail: all that hits them bounds rattling off not a stone goes through.
Henry Ward Beecher
Go on your knees before God. Bring all your idols bring self-will, and pride, and every evil lust before Him, and give them up. Devote yourself, heart and soul, to His will and see if you do not know of the doctrine.
Henry Ward Beecher
Our yearnings are homesicknesses for heaven our sighings are for God, just as children that cry themselves asleep away from home, and sob in their slumber, know not that they sob for their parents. The soul's inarticulate moanings are the affections yearning for the Infinite, and having no one to tell them what it is that ails them.
Henry Ward Beecher
Learning, to be of much use, must have a tendency to spread itself among the common people.
Henry Ward Beecher
He who hunts for flowers will finds flowers and he who loves weeds will find weeds.
Henry Ward Beecher
Many men are stored full of unused knowledge. Like loaded guns that are never fired off, or military magazines in times of peace, they are stuffed with useless ammunition.
Henry Ward Beecher
There is no faculty of the human soul so persistent and universal as that of hatred.
Henry Ward Beecher
